bracco_n Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Thanks for the input! I was wondering if there is anything like the US army center of military history for the anglo/canadian armies. There's some very good reading material about the americans in the normandy campaing: http://www.history.army.mil/html/reference/Normandy/normandy.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wokelly Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Well for the Canadians you can look at the Laurier Military Center's website. They have a lot of their journals from a few years back uploaded and viewable for free. Some really good stuff in there concerning Operational Research reports as well as examinations of battles and tactics: (NOTE: They have placeholders for many article but have not uploaded anything after 2003, so clicking those links will get you nothing.) http://www.canadianmilitaryhistory.ca/archived-articles/ The website is in general very good, but lots of archival stuff they plan on, but have not yet uploaded. At some point all the OR reports will be available for view, along with huge numbers of Aerial Reconassiance photo taken by the RCAF. Will take time, I worked there uploading stuff, time consuming work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 The Canadian CMHQ/AHQ/CFHQ archives are pretty good too. http://www.cmp-cpm.forces.gc.ca/dhh-dhp/his/rep-rap/index-eng.asp 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuirassier Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Has no one mentioned Mark Zuehlke yet? He gives very tactical accounts of Canadian forces in NW Europe and Italy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
